Reader Author Get Together (RAGT) is a one-of-a-kind book event created by authors, for readers.
June 3-6, 2026
Holiday Inn, Cincinnati Airport
For more than twenty years, RAGT has brought romance readers and the authors they love into the same shared space—not just to sign books, but to talk, laugh, create, and truly connect. Unlike traditional book conventions, RAGT is built around participation. Authors don’t just show up for a signing; they spend four full days hosting games, leading workshops, running panels, crafting, celebrating, and engaging directly with readers.
Every activity, meal, and party is part of what makes RAGT feel less like a conference and more like a community. Whether you come alone or with friends, whether you’re meeting a favorite author for the first time or reconnecting with one you’ve known for years, RAGT is a place where you belong.
At its heart, RAGT is about celebrating the stories we love—and the people who make them possible.
What’s waiting for you at RAGT26:
- 350 readers & 60+ authors gathering for four unforgettable days
- Nine boardrooms filled with games, crafts, panels, workshops, and surprises
- Nine sponsored meals and four themed parties to mix, mingle, and celebrate
- Two large book signings featuring beloved favorites and exciting new discoveries
